About this service
Installing an insert is a technical process that involves sliding the unit into the hearth and connecting it to a stainless-steel chimney liner. This liner is critical for safety and proper draft. You need professional help for this because it requires precise measurements of your existing firebox and an airtight seal at the chimney cap. Proper installation ensures your system runs safely and meets local building codes, preventing smoke leakage and buildup inside your home's structure.
